Yep, and two our of every four seasons he got to play what was often a pretty easy schedule.
It could have been worse

Yes. But there was a bobbled snap and a dropped pass on that drive for Baylor. Neither were influenced by the defense, though you could argue they were influenced by the crowd.
To be fair, part of the strategy of the bend but don't break relies on the offense making a few mistakes.
No matter how you slice it the Big 12 is NOT the Big 12 with Nebraska, Missouri and Texas A&M. So its a moot point and Texas today is junk compared to back then.

I thought Knott played well. Baylor got 5 yards on that third down with zero yards after catch.
The sentiment around here is really weird today. I came away from yesterday's game with a positive feeling and thought others would as well. I don't really care who the coach is I see both positives and negatives in firing Rhoads but this isn't the game that should be taking people over the top.
Haha mute point. You have no idea what you're talking about. Talk out of your ***, get called on it, and continue making stuff up.
I said going into the game that I would be satisfied if ISU scored over 30, and kept Baylor under 50. That being said, ISU's offense needs to score more points, period. The defense is impressing me, and getting better each week. The offense is staying status quo. ISU had two weeks to inject some more life into the offense, and to me, it was still much of the same.
I miss both those years, when we pounded K-State...Yep, those 2004 and 2005 schedules McCarney had were real tough.
It truly is a new day in Cyclone football when the fan base has this kind of meltdown over a 21 point loss to that caliber of team. The quantity of posters that will get on and complain and rip CW for headlines is sad but also shows how far we have come that people even care.
This is not really a meltdown though. It is more just the building discontent that has been ongoing since the end of 2012. Sure, some may let pillow-fight victories over uninspired or equally inept teams give them a week's worth of amnesia, but this is not a meltdown. Notice how most threads disperse from the game last night into wide angle complaints.

This encapsulates my view perfectly. Bad karma since that Liberty Bowl game followed by the UNI debacle. Not much for a fan base to hang its hat on for quite a while. Except for short bursts against really bad competition (Iowa, KU, Tulsa and last year's WV defense) there has not been much production. As nice as it was to come close to Texas last year and KSU this year, the efforts still show up as L's.
With conference stability (for now), an equal share of TV money coming our way, and unbelievable fan support there is an historic opportunity to improve our standing in the FBS football world. Need to take advantage of our opportunities...
We have had offensive struggles with some glimpses of fantastic of which we saw several plays last night.
Baylor has the best front four we had faced with at least one of them being NFL draft worthy (Oakman). Yes, we had two weeks to prepare, but like all the pundits were saying, "How good is Baylor really?" after their very comfy non-con schedule that amounted to scrimmages to get in sync prior to conf play.
Well, now we have an idea of how good Baylor is. Let's stop acting like we had two weeks to magically become the better football team when we simply are not. Nor is the rest of the conference.
